Gawd! That's really horrible. Good thing this was found out before I got my set... Major hassle for us Pinoys to get our R1's exchanged...

If you're really that bothered with the framing thing, here's from a DVD website:

It only took five years to finally surface, and now it looks like the Back to the Future set is a bum steer. Universal Studios is issuing a (quiet) recall of the just-released collection because of the widescreen misframing of parts II and III (I is unaffected). If you bought the set and want corrected copies, send in your two discs without the case and a letter with the following information: Name, Full Mailing Address, Daytime Phone Number, Reason for Return and Return Address. Send all of this to:

Back to the Future DVD Returns
PO Box 224468
Dallas, Texas 75260

Universal will exchange Back to the Future parts II and III for copies with the updated framing in late February 2003. You can send the DVDs back now or wait until then.  


You ask, is it worth all the trouble? Or are you just gonna stick with the copy that you have?

I guess it really depends on how many shots are affected... if there are only 5-10 seconds of footage affected on each movie, then maybe non-die hard fans can settle for the existing version...

Another problem with Back to the Future or at least with my copy, the closed caption or subtitle option is not working with part 1. Its very helpful when you have a roommate that works night and sleeps daytime.

i got the full screen ed R1.

anyone noticed the bad transition between menus? parang may white blank screen and parang bitin ang transition.

regarding the movie, anyone know why MJ Fox suddenly wears a chuck taylor in BTTF1? this was noticeable in the skate board chase with the manure. as i remember he always wore those white nikes.

i dunno if this has been discussed before. too tired to search. :)

I got the "defective" R1 WS.  Yup, parang nag-ha-hang ang transition between menu screens.   Obvious siya at medyo nakakainis kasi parang p-quality ang dating(for me)  Tapos ang design ng discs parang p-quality din....parang malabong bitin na ewan...
regarding the shoes...will watch it pa ....and post it later

hi there,

I discovered another defect on part 2, pls confirm if you experienced it also.

On Part 2, if you activate the universal anecdote feature, the movie freezes before the end of chap3. The same to what happens to Part 1 if you activate the MJFox interview.

 Also, when this feature is activated, the "texts" are  incomplete midway the movie.

meron naba naka experienced sa inyo nito?

one thing is for sure, this edition really sucks!!

Well, I presume that when the corrected version is available, it is released to the market, hindi pamalit lang sa nagsoli!

Keeping the fingers crossed!

Here's an an update for those Back to the Future box sets with the mis-framed Part II & III discs.

The corrected discs will be available by mail sometime in March. They'll also be issued to stores. Here's what Universal has been telling their customers, via e-mail, about how to identify the fixed sets:

"The new packaging will have a "V2" printed near the bottom of the screen format/bar code sticker. This will indicate that the set contains the remastered versions of BTTF II and BTTF III. The same "V2" will also appear on the new discs after the copyright language line."

FOR THOSE WHO ALREADY HAVE THE DEFECTIVE VERSION:

You can send Back to the Future disks 2 and 3, without the case, and a letter with the following information to:
Name
Full Mailing International Address
Daytime Phone Number
Reason for Return

Return Address:
Back to the Future DVD Returns
PO Box 224468
Dallas, Texas 75260

Good!

Now, when I order from Benny or P@RC, I will insist on the V2 version.

BTW, April na, released na ba ito? (Mga suki, any news?)

hi guys!

Aside from the MISFRAMED problem of disc 2 and 3, does anyone of you BACK TO THE FUTURE owners encountered any problems on DISC ONE?

Mine kasi skipped on chapter 14 and totally stopped, and had to forward it to chapter 15, just to finish the movie...

Thanks! :)

Has anyone IN THE PHILIPPINES already sent the defective discs back to the address, and did you actually receive a corrected replacement?

Also, anyone in the STATES?

I want to know if I can send them to that Texas address from here, or if I should send them to a relative in the States to get them replaced for me.
